441-5.4.10 [Orig] The portable/remote units shall be capable of operating on not less than 15 separate channels to avoid intercom interference when multiple boats are operating in the same vicinity. The channels shall be user-selectable using keypad or control located on the portable unit.

441-5.4.11 [Orig] The portable/remote unit shall provide a side tone. The operator shall be able to hear his own transmission, to indicate that the transmission is being received by the base unit and re-transmitted properly.

441-5.4.12 [A00008] Reserved.

441-5.4.13 [A00008] Each portable/remote unit shall operate off an internal rechargeable battery pack. The battery shall have a minimum of 8 hours of use on a single charge, with a 100% duty cycle. Duty cycle is defined as, at a minimum, 5 percent Transmit, 5 percent Receive and the remaining percent Standby. Each portable/remote unit shall be provide with a low battery audible warning that sounds when the battery has been discharged to a level where there remains approximately 1 hour of power left to operate the unit in the standby mode.
